Piston Slap: does anyone make longer skirted pistons?

Most of us dealing with pre 93 B230 FT engines have dealt with piston slap. A rebuilt engine I did even had it. This may have been the cracked pressure plate, but will soon see.

Is the 93 piston longer skirted? Can you find aftermarket pistons which do not rock in the cylinders? Like Don Foster, my engines just keep going inspite of the slap, but if you rebuild an engine, can you eliminate it?
